Publications Store
The SCAN team has formulated a comprehensive document store to assist the network in developing practice, research and service initiatives related to the addiction field. Creating a store where files are directly available to specialists required the co-operation of many departments and organisations to which we extend our thanks.
By obtaining approvals to utilise these documents we hope to provide a central resource of addiction related documents. There are a number of documents (e.g. Australian Methadone Guidelines, Task Force Review) that we would like to have featured but at this time we are not able to make them directly available. If we are unable to offer direct access to such files we will provide a link, where possible, on the Links page so that you are able to access some of these resources.
Please note that the documents presented here may be superseded by new documents from each of the host organisations. SCAN will attempt to keep this store up-to-date. However it is not our intention to replace these organisations’ publication stores.
If there is a document that you feel should be included in this store to benefit the members of the network, please contact SCAN. The team will approach the relevant organisation/department for approval before posting the document within the store.

Publications Store help area
This page will help you understand more about the publication store.
There are four ways to search for documents :
by title | by category | by year published | by keywords
How to use the alphabetic tab:
The tab will present a series of letters. If you click the letter you require, it will collect all the document titles, sort them alphabetically, then, finaly jump to the letter you specified. It will be collecting the titles of all the publications so be aware it may take some time to complete the list if you have a slow connection.

to topHow to use the category tab:
If you prefer to browse the document store according to the name of the category of the document, this tab will allow you to select a category from the list, sort them alphabetically for each category, and finally jump to the section you have indicated.

to topHow to use the year tab:
If you prefer to browse the document store according to the year published, this tab will allow you to select a year from the list provided, sort them alphabetically for each year, and finally jump to the section you have indicated.

to topHow to use the Keywords tab:
The keyword full-text search capability supports the following operators:
+
A leading plus sign indicates that this word MUST be present in each document that is returned.
-
A leading minus sign indicates that this word MUST NOT be present in any of the documents that are returned.
(no operator)
By default (when neither + nor - is specified) each word is optional, but the documents that contain more thatn one are rated higher.
> <
These two operators are used to change a word's contribution to the relevance value that is assigned to a document. The > operator increases the contribution and the < operator decreases it. See the example following this list.
( )
Parentheses group words into subexpressions. Parenthesized groups can be nested.
~
A leading tilde acts as a negation operator, causing the word's contribution to the document's relevance to be negative. This is useful for marking “noise” words. A document containing such a word is rated lower than others, but is not excluded altogether, as it would be with the - operator.
*
The asterisk serves as the truncation (or wildcard) operator. Unlike the other operators, it should be appended to the word to be affected. Words match if they begin with the word preceding the * operator.
“ ”
A phrase that is enclosed within double quote (“ ”) characters matches only documents that contain the phrase literally, as it was typed.
Would you like to try searching by keyword search?
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use special operators:
apple banana
Find documents that contain at least one of the two words.
+apple +juice
Find documents that contain both words.
+apple macintosh
Find documents that contain the word “apple”, but rank documents higher if they also contain “macintosh”.
+apple -macintosh
Find documents that contain the word “apple” but not “macintosh”.
+apple ~macintosh
Find documents that contain the word “apple”, but if the documents also contains the word “macintosh”, rate it lower than if the document does not. This is “softer” than a search for '+apple -macintosh', for which the presence of “macintosh” causes the documents not to be returned at all.
+apple +(>turnover <strudel)
Find documents that contain the words “apple” and “turnover”, or “apple” and “strudel” (in any order), but rank “apple turnover” higher than “apple strudel”.
apple*
Find documents that contain words such as “apple”, “apples”, “applesauce”, or “applet”.
“some words”
Find documents that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, documents that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”).
